Dear Friends of the B&O Railroad Museum:

Many of you have inquired about damages to specific collection pieces in addition to the information provided in our preliminary list of damaged artifacts. Therefore, we will be posting an overview on the damage to individual locomotives and rolling stock gathered by the guest curators. These overviews were compiled during the month of April and many of the pieces observed had already been covered in plastic tarps to protect them against the elements. The overviews are preliminary and by no means final reports. The final reports are still being compiled as the damaged locomotives and rolling stock continue to be studied. The Museum gratefully acknowledges our guest curators, John Bechtel of the North Carolina Transportation Museum; David Dunn, Ryan Kunkle, Allan Martin, Steve Meola, and Mark Volatile of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania; and Walter P. Gray III and Kyle Williams Wyatt of the California State Railroad Museum who so willingly gave their time and expertise to assist us in this daunting task.
